Top 5 Batsmen With Most Sixes In IPL

Chris Gayle

A West Indian icon, Chris Gayle, has hit the most sixes (357) in 140 matches. Gayle is a natural southpaw who enjoys hitting every ball over the fence.

Almost every bowler is terrified of Gayle’s powerful striking. In 2013, the “Universal Boss” struck a six of 119 meters, the longest in his IPL history.

This six is also the fifth-longest in IPL history (Ross Taylor). In 140 IPL matches, Gayle has scored 4,950 runs with a strike rate of 149.45. The towering Jamaican has also scored the most hundreds (6) in IPL history.

Chris Gayle, who is regarded as one of the most powerful batters in the league, leads the sixes chart with 357 sixes to his name. These sixes were amassed during 141 innings played in the lucrative league.

His strike rate of 148.96 is sufficient proof that bowlers fear facing the T20 great. Gayle’s IPL batting average is 39.72, and he has amassed 4,965 runs with 6 hundred and 31 half-centuries.

AB DE Villers

Abraham Benjamin DE Villers has hit the second-most sixes (239) in the history of the Indian Premier League. The South African batter is nicknamed “MR 360” for his ability to knock the ball all over the field. AB is an absolute nightmare for bowlers everywhere.

He can knock sixes against any bowler. In 184 matches, AB has scored 5162 runs with a strike rate of 151.68. He is a player that every franchise in the world want. His longest came in the 2018 Indian Premier League (111 Meters).

Chris Gayle’s supremacy can be determined by the fact that the second player on the list, AB de Villiers, has 251 sixes in the league compared to Gayle’s 351 sixes. Additionally, the Proteas player has smashed 413 fours in 170 innings and has struck 151.68 times per 100 balls.

In 225 IPL appearances, Dhoni has scored 4838 runs with a strike rate of 135.44. In 2012, he hit the longest six of his IPL career (112 mt).
